The whole "we're pretending it's live" thing really doesn't bother me, but what does bother me is that NBC is apparently fucking UNABLE to give you a score.

Athlete so and so performed jump so and so. Cool. What did they score? Oh, wait, we're just going to go to the next athlete. Great...

And then they are also seemingly incapable of actually managing volume levels. Trying to hear the commentators last night during gymnastics was basically impossible, and they had the exact same fucking issue during the cycling contests. It must be really hard to figure out how to dial up one sound stream and dial down the other one.
